Ten years ago on a cool dark nightThere was someone killed 'neath the town hall lightThere were few at the scene and they all did agreeThat the man who ran looked a lot like meThe judge said "Son, what is your alibi?If you were somewhere else then you won't have to die"I spoke not a word although it meant my lifeI had been in the arms of my best friend's wifeShe walks these hills in a long black veilShe visits my grave where the night winds wailNobody knows, no and nobody seesNobody knows but meThe scaffold was high and eternity nearedShe stood in the crowd and shed not a tearBut sometimes at night when the cold wind moansIn a long black veil she cries over my bonesShe walks these hills in a long black veilShe visits my grave where the night winds wailNobody knows, no and nobody seesNobody knows but me From Letras Mania
